However, we've got a tripel secondarying in the bathtub right now that I <I>might</I> consider tertiarying, but most likely the bottles will be our tertiaries as usual.Ray Merklerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05078132898884619604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743286130964155757.post-84442578823577970512008-09-22T18:35:02.787-07:002008-09-22T18:35:02.787-07:00That's what I figured, although the odd consideration of a tertiary, or even a quaternary, came to mind... Then I snapped out of it and realized I had too much free time on my hands... LOL! Sorry always wanted to work "tertiary" and "quaternary" into an every day conversation...<BR/><BR/>Have you racked beyond a secondary?Bryonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09477503566985637974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743286130964155757.post-77650161212609140682008-09-22T10:15:44.446-07:002008-09-22T10:15:44.446-07:00Regarding your secondary: The biggest reason to use a secondary (for us, at least) is to let all of that stuff settle out, so that level of sediment you have there is perfectly normal. You'll get a clearer beer each time you rack to a new carboy, and concurrently, you'll also get less sediment each time.Ray Merklerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05078132898884619604noreply@blogger.com
